Hello, I am located in a small village in Warwickshire, England.
I have always worked outside during my working career. I love the outdoors and anything to do with Birds and Nature. I worked for 22 years on grounds maintenance on a local big establishment. I had an injury at work in 2007 when I seriously injured my spine. This has completely changed my life. I can no longer walk very far or stand for any long periods with out being in terrible pain. I have got a condition called Spondylolisthesis and also Chronic Degenerative Spine Disease. I have been told by specialists that it is too risky for an operation as it may lead to me being in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. I have not been able to work since and probably never be able to again. At first I got really down and just sat around the house not going out at all, about two years ago I bought a canon camera and started taking photos of birds and wildlife. I found this helped me mentally . I joined Warwickshire Wildlife Trust with my wife Clare and started visiting Brandon Marsh, here we got chatting and making friends with the other regulars. We really enjoy our photography and I have now built up quite a good selection of cameras and lenses.
My other interests include, Bird Photography, Air Shows, Watching Stock Car Racing, Steam Traction Engines, Vintage Tractors. I am also a licenced Amateur Radio Operator (M6GVP)
I have now also started Portrait and Model Photography, which i am really enjoying.

Every month i try to meet up with a great group of people for a group shoot, Wendie Rose and the team at Leicester's Official Creative Photoshoots, they are all fantastic and the shoots are really enjoyable.

I hope i can upload some photos from my other interests in the near future.

Best Wishes, Geoff Haynes.
